African Vacations
I have had many vacations in Africa and have written several articles and taken many thousands of photographs. This lens is a collection of these articles and pictures and some travel tips, advice and recommendations of African hotels and other places to stay.

Safari Vacations

Safari vacations in Africa are generally in Sub-Saharan Africa; traditionally the majority of such vacations were in Kenya, Tanzania, or South Africa, with a lot of tourists opting for a beach and safari trip involving several days of sun-bathing followed by a couple of days in a convoy of mini-buses. This is not the optimum way to see the wonderful wildlife and now there are many more adventurous vacations available in such places as the Okavango Delta in Botwana, Etosha in Namibia (see articles below)
While the beach/safari trip is a great introduction to Africa staying in a good luxury lodge gives a far better insight into this fascinating country or camping
and walking safari would give a more affordable if terrifying experience. I have tried both.

Cultural and sight-seeing trips in North Africa

Northern African countries are quite a contrast to their southern neighbours. Vacations in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia are usually more about sight seeing, history and culture: Step back in time on a Nile cruise in Egypt or spend a few days experiencing the Arabian culture in Marrakech, Morocco.

- This lens is awesome. I love it. I am going to tell my editors on my Thai News website to write something about this lens and probably feature it.
I will comment here again once we do.
Great Work

- Do you know it seems like whenever I need a break from my world, all I have to do is visit one of your lenses and I can go to another place. Thank goodness you do not take pictures of the galaxies-I may take a trip there and never want to come back. I really love your photography you do such great work!
